The book I just finished is called Solaris Seethes by Janet McNulty. This book reminded me a little of Avatar because of the different unique races of the people on each planet that was featured in the story, and also reminded me a little of Divergent in their desire to defeat the criminals in the story and save the universe.
Rynah wants revenge against her ex-lover, Klanor, for destroying her home planet and almost killing her to get one of six crystals that will help him become powerful and able to destroy much more than he already has. Solaris is a ship that was left to her by her grandfather, and she soon realizes that the artificial intelligence program that is Solaris will help her and her team of friends to stop Klanor before more people get killed in his quest for the crystals.

Great Story About Raising Kids!
While I had some downtime these past few weeks due to the holidays, I decided to catch on reading some books that I had been meaning to. While I was busy, I did not have to cook or host anyone at my house, I was fortunate enough to be hosted this year:) This makes it much easier to enjoy the holidays and I have not been able to for many years. The first book I decided to read is called How To Raise A Good Kid by Starbuck O'Dwyer.
This book is a collection of short stories of the author reflecting on how his parents helped instill character traits in him growing up, and how these have helped to shape him into the adult that he is now. The stories are sure to be relatable to almost anyone, and they are funny as well as heartwarming. Lessons such as respect and humility are learned, and they are reflected in this humorous book about raising kids.
If you are a parent, this book will not only make you laugh out loud, it will also give you some stories that you can use to your benefit when trying to figure out how to approach many things that come up when you are raiding kids, such as how to handle bullies, and other life lessons. I really enjoyed this one and I think you will too!
